I m not the most patient person and would usually not be willing to spend more time than a few minutes so after giving it a try I gave up and it's sad as I'm sure the theme is just awesome. 

Wish it was simpler

Maybe don't blame someone else because of your inadequacy's and inability to read?

If you were looking for "Platform view logos" and didn't see these, im not sure that any more instructions would of helped you anyway.

You can also use the startup and pause themes to add more of a consistent flow

 

.... but where do I put these files?

In the Launchbox/StartupThemes and the Launchbox/PauseThemes folders

This is my favorite view on this theme and was wondering is it possible to have the videos be centered in the video viewing area. There is a chunk of video playing behind the platform selection panel that way we aren't stuck with just the nostalgia video theme?  

Sound like a resolution/scaling issue on your side, that view looks very much like its designed for a 4:3 video?

Also you need to go into properties first, not just right click the file.

If there is no option to do so then they already are. If you are on the latest beta it could be you are running into plugin issues.

Waiting for the next official release and hope that the plugins / themes are fixed until then.

Of course, there wil not be a official release until the issues are fixed. This is exactly the reason why we do betas though, to find these issues and get them fixed before a official release.

You should just be able to roll back to 11.2 by running the installer in Launchbox/Updates over the top of your current build.

Hi viking,

since the most recent LaunchBox update I can no longer run BigBox with your great theme. Any idea what might have changed that could break the plugin? Something .Net related? Launchbox requested me to install .NET core... 

Thanks in advance!

A lot of plugins have been broken in the latest beta. They are betas for a reason though, so if you are not willing to deal with issues and actually report them in the actual beta thread, then id turn off the update to beta option in your setup. Betas will break things from time to time, they are for testing, not to use on your daily build.

It would of been needed to be made in the creator originally, and for the creator to share those files.

I did and the Bezels are not showing and when ever i go into full screen Retroarch crashes

If this is a retroarch issue or simple Launchbox issue please make a new thread. if its a simple bezel issue, then please also make another thread, tag me in either if you want, but lets not clutter this file comment section with issues that are not related to this file.

I'm using Retroarch

OK this is how for retroarch, see attached file, download it rename the actual file to what you want so that you recognize it in the UI. Open the file with notepad, or even better notepad++ and change the part with the .png name to whatever the image is that you want to show, obviously the image needs to be in the same folder as the .cfg.

Depends on the emulator that you are using them with.

Just now, NickD said:

Thanks

Well technically you can use them anywhere, but you will need to create the config files for where ever you use them to display them. Essentially these are just images, a emulator will need to know how to show said image via a file.

No problem @neil9000, I'll make that up in a little while. By the way do you have an image you would like? I assume this is for some American and Japanese games? Your picture kind of makes it look like there are less boxes than there actually are. Sega Rally 2 has a box too by the way.

My actual roms are mostly US, so i guess there are naming issues ( i used bulk rename utility to change all the (Europe) in your pack to (USA) so that Launchbox will show them) Sega Rally 2 is actually called Sega Rally Championship 2 in my Launchbox, so thats why that one doesnt show.

 

[Sega Dreamcast 3D Box Pack - Europe (255) (2 Versions)]

Hey @Robin55, and chance you can do one of these cases with just a picture of the Dreamcast on it? Id like to use it for games i dont have 3D boxes for as i dont want to fill my gaps with the different style US box.

This is what i have currently, and they stick out to much.

I don't know what any of this means.  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

It goes in the Launchbox plugin folder, not the emulator one.

I thought this section only applied to the Game Details window. If I uncheck unwanted details, then they'll disappear from both under the thumbnail and the Game Details section. Ideally, I'd like to keep those details in the side window, just not under the thumbnail...

Sorry i thought this was referencing the screenshots in the game details.

The only option is to not have "show subline" active.
